Overlooking a deep valley and the Lago del Salto, this charming Canadian-owned villa easily sleeps six in cozy bedrooms with stunning en suite bathrooms. Combining an ancient structure with modern Italian design, it includes a state-of-the-art kitchen, a sauna, and a prestigious wine cellar. Two terrace areas are shadowed by greenery, overlooking a magnificent garden that falls towards the Valle del Salto.

Situated on the outskirts of a delightful village, about an hour's drive from Rome's GRA, in the province of Rieti, a two minute drive will land you in the picturesque Borgo San Pietro. The lake, known especially for having the cleanest freshwater in Italy, has wonderful beaches and allows access to the surrounding area, rich in history. Excellent restaurants, specializing in regional delicacies and wine, await. Twenty minutes away, the Campo Felice ski resort offers gentle slopes and, for the more adventurous, L'Aquila provides Alpine level skiing. Castelli, a little further up, is famous for its tradition of handpainted Italian ceramics. The nearest airports are Fiumicino, Pescara and Ciampino.
